CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
April 7, 2000
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER /~7"'D.,-/,/-'~.
SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION
1. The Fire Joint Powers Agreement between the City and County calls for the next City
fire station to be at White Lane and Buena Vista temporarily, then to move west.
Chief Fraze would like to move it north to the Ming/Buena Vista area, a step that
would require County Board of Supervisors and City Council approval of a JPA
amendment. There are also land availability issues that are under discussion. The
land availability also relates to Chief Matlock's desire to have enough land for a joint
Police/Fire facility in the future. More will be forthcoming as a result of discussions
between the chiefs and land owners in the Ming and Buena Vista area.
Councilmember Couch has also asked for staff information on how to fund the Police
facility and area adjacent park, if one were included. (The Fire Station has had
funding set aside for several years.) More will unfold on all this over time.
2. A letter and petition from local citizens in support of an ice skating facility is enclosed.
The information was transmitted to staff and presented to the Community Service
Committee members at the public meeting held on Tuesday, April 4th.
Thanks are due to Bolthouse Farms for their generous offer of $250,000 on a
community match basis to bring a rink towards reality. The Bakersfield Condors also
made a generous offer, mostly on the operating, rather than the construction, end.
3. We received the enclosed notification from the Kern County Waste Management
Director that the report to the Board of Supervisors on Universal Collection will now
be on the Board agenda for May 23rd, instead of in April, as originally reported at the
joint City/County meeting.
4. Staff sent the attached letter to our local assemblymen requesting their assistance in
obtaining State funding for two projects for City / CSUB improvements: 1) the
extension of Kroll Way over the Arvin-Edison Canal adjacent to the CSUB campus;
2) the installation of a traffic signal at the south entrance to the CSUB campus on
Camino Media.

3. The cover letter to the proposed budget document for FY 2000-2001 that was sent
to members of the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency, as well as a memo discussing
budget highlights, is enclosed for your information. That budget comes to you for
review and action after Agency action.
4. In compliance with state law requirements, letters were sent this week to property
owners within the potentially impacted area to request statements of interest
regarding possible commercial development opportunities along the California
Avenue commercial corridor between L and T Streets. The letter is attached. We
used both the boundaries requested by Dave Cross, as well as "City Center". This
is an important step in the process which, in theory, will result in the issuance of one
or more exclusive rights to negotiate a development agreement. In other words, it is
a period of time when they have an opportunity to finalize all terms, secure tenant
commitments, etc. That starts at the Agency and advances to City Council.
5. An update on the MAOF Child Care Center project on East California Avenue is
enclosed.
6. A status report is enclosed regarding the draft Consolidated Plan 2005. Staff is
considering ideas on how to encourage greater resident attendance at public
meetings concerning the Consolidated Plan.
7. Responses to Council requests are enclosed, as follows:
Carson
· Report on process for determining economic development needs in areas where
specific businesses or amenities are lacking; specifically, needs assessment
procedures and recruitment of services;
· Report on cities that have ordinances/regulations regarding restaurant workers
and healthcare issues (response issued by City Attorney under separate cover.)
· Update regarding clean up on Union Avenue, specifically the Turner Hotel; also
status of ownership of that property and possibility of using funding through
grants.
DeMond
· Report on new style of mailboxes being used in the downtown commercial areas
and if they will be used for new/old businesses; also what the zoning requirements
are;
· Staff to investigate about a possible new state law regarding use of hand held cell
phones while driving and warning citations being issued;
· Issue of block wall on south side of 24th Street from Elm to Alder Streets and Cal-
Trans position on blocking the street;

Bakersfield, CA 93301
Aim: Alan Tandy, City Manager
Dear Mr. Tandy:
I am submitting this letter as I am unable to attend the City Council meeting regarding the
need for an ice skating facility. I am the Treasurer for the Condors Booster Club and
have organized the Awards Banquet to be held on the same evening.
I grew up training for the Olympics as a figure skater. I was gravely disappointed when
my family moved to Bakersfield as there was no ice fink here. I have never gotten over
my love of the ice or the disappointment of moving to a town that failed to support my
sport of choice. MY loss has affected me to this day. The Civic Center would open for
public skate during the summer.. I spent my summers there, but the ice was crowded and
it certainly was not the same as having a full-time facility where I could train. I was a
member of the Bakersfield Ice Skating Club up until the time Bakersfield decided to take
the Civic ice from us.
W~hen the Ice Palace opened I was ecstatic. It was too late for me to continue my career,
but my son Anthony could certainly begin skating. Well, Anthony has the same love for
the sport of ice hockey that I had for figure skating. He quickly excelled at playing. He
played for 3 in-house teams and also for the Bakersfield Dragons. I worked as an off-ice
official to trade out for his league fees and also worked in the pro-shop to trade out for his
equipment. Anthony was so busy with hockey he had absolutely no time to get into
trouble. Also, he knew he could not slack offin school or he.would not be able to skate.
Anthony became so involved with hockey, he made a decision to give up every other
sport he played (which was every sport you could imagine). Anthony spent his summers
assisting the Hockey Director with home school classes. As a single parent, this was a
very welcome activity. Then came the closure of the Ice Palace.
' Another generation has gone by and the City has not changed since I moved here in 1963.
There are more and more bars, but nothing more for children. Although the closure of
the Ice Palace was no fault of the city, I've yet to see any evidence (no media coverage,
04/03/00 ~ON 09:19 FAX 805 588 2550 HYDRIL COMPANY ~003
as with baseball) that the City has done anything in the last year regarding the need for an' :
ice skating facility. It seems to be ignored hoping we will finally give up and go away.
To my tmderstanding, the City supported another skate park even though Va~s was newly
opened. Judging fa-om the media, the City seems to try very hard to g~t a new baseball
park, even though we already have three facilities for the pros/children.
Here are some facts:
· · Whenever the Garden hosts a public skate, the arena is packed
· Condors attendance has gone up signi/~cantly. The Condors must have home ice
on which to practice. Currently, if the Garden has booked another event, the
Condors either do not practice or they must leave a few days early to practice at
the away rink where they are playing for that week
There was great interest in the Jr. Condors program. The only reason they did not
get as many kids as they could have was the Condors office gave only two weeks
for people to come up with $500. When it was decided that the parents could
make payments, it is my understanding that the Condors staff failed to contact
those parents and inform them.
· We have some really great hockey professionals in town who are willing to
donate .their time if we could just get some ice.
· I, for one, would still be willing to do what I could to make the ice rink a success.
I would continue to work aa an off-ice official or any o~her capacity.
· I am still ia contact with the previous owner of the pro shop. I am sure she would
be willing to set-up shop again without the high costs and lack of knowledge .
(regarding hockey and figure skating) of our local sporting store.
· The Ice Palace did not close because they were not making money. Qui~te the
opposite. The Ice Palace was making money. The hockey and figure programs
were rapidly growing just before the closure. The Ice Palace closed because one
of the partners took the profits from the Bakersfield facility to feed his facility in
Alisso Veijo, where he had more of a personal interest.
· When the Ice Palace was open, the Kern County Hockey Club hosted a
tournament/playoff. This brought additional business to nearby hotels and
restaurants in Bakersfield. Everybody from the club worked together to make this
event a success, besides being fun for the kids and parents. With all the
tournaments and playoffs involved with ice hockey, we would be able to host
other functions. Figure skaters also have competitions that could be scheduled in
Bakersfield.
· An ice fi_ak will NOT attract a "bad crowd." I have been "hanging out" in ice
finks most of my life and have yet to see an undesirable crowd.
04/03/00 M0N 09:20 FAX 805 588 2550 HYDRIL COMPANY ~]004
The Kern County.Hockey Club had two teams win State Championships last year.
The PeeWee team just won the So. Calif. Championships and are headed for State
April 14-16. We obviously have some talent in this town.
· I am confident that the City, just like every other government entity, wastes
money on unnecessary programs/projects (or whatever term is used for
justification) and can make some cut backs to assist in making this project more
financially feasible.
· It is also my understanding that, after having spoken with Mr. Bill Davidson
(Condors owner/partner), the Condors have voiced their interest in supporting an
ice rink.
· There is a company in Los Angeles who sets-up temporary ice rinks (this could be
an option until we'come -up with a solution to building our permanent facility).
· There are more people than those of us from the Kem County Hockey Club who
are interested in ice. I have obtained signatures in the last two (2) days from
everyone I have come in contact which indicates their interest also.
I understand that baseball (or soccer, or football) fans'would say that hockey is not
important; let your child play another sport. But our children do not want to play another
sport any more than those who love soccer want to play another sport. The difference is
soccer players have a field; baseball and football players have their fields; basketball
players have their courts; even those who race cars, bikes and motorcycles have a facility.
Ice hockey players have NOTHING! If this city will not support us, I will continue to do
what I can and work additional jobs so my son can continue to skate. I will have to drive
out of town 3-4 times a week to Valencia, Sylmar or North Hills.
I am confident that there is a way we can have ice again. Mr. Tandy, you love ice hockey
and I know. you were insmunental in making the Garden a reality. I urge you to take that
same drive and dedication to help us. I know we can do it if we just work together. It
may take some time, but the effort will be well worth the final rewards that our children
will reap. If only you could have seen the priceless smiles on the faces of our boys when
they won the championship (the weekend of March 25tu), you would understand how we
feel.
Sincerely,
Hockey Mom and Fan

Dear Mr Tandy:
SUBJECT: Universal Collection Report
The purpose of this letter is to inform you .of a change in the timetable for my report to the
Board of Supervisors on Universal Collection. I reported at the joint Board/Council meeting
that I intended to take a report to the Board of Supervisors in April. Due to several factors, !
am forced to revise that schedule.
I have been asked to hold commUnity meetings prior to the Board being asked to vote on the
matter. This, of course, is a reasonable request which I must accommodate. In addition, the
Board is dark on April 18th, and scheduled vacations for myself and others preclude the last
Tuesday in April, or the first two Tuesdays in May. Therefore, I am notifying you that I intend
to put this item on the Board's Agenda for May 23'a.
I would appreciate it if you would communicate this change to your Council. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me at 862-8900.
Sincerely,
Daphne H. Washington

Honorable Dean Florez
Assemblyman, 30th District
230 Truxtun Avenue
Bakersfield, CA 93301
RE: Proposed projects for the City of Bakersfield/California State University Bakersfield
Dear Assemblyman Florez,
On behalf of the City of Bakersfield and.California State UniversiD' Bakersfield, I am requesting
consideration of funding in the next upcoming State budget cycle of two projects that will benefit
both the City and the Universi¢'.
The University campus is bounded on the north (Stockdale Highway) 'and south (Camino Media) by
major arterial and collector streets, but there is no access from the east boundary of the campus
which abuts the Arvin-Edison Canal nor the west boundary, which abuts developed colnmercial
property. However, on.the east side of the Arvin-Edison Canal adjacent to the campus, Kroll Way
(a 68 foot wide collector street) dead-ends at the canal. If a 'bridge were constructed across the
canal at this point, it would connect Kroll Way with a parking lot currently scheduled for
construction by the University just west of the canal. Constructing this bridge would not only
enhance traffic circulation for the University, but would provide a direct connection to the multi-
family apartments and condominiums located just east of the campus where many students reside.
This proposed connection Would also encourage bike and pedestrian travel to the campus from this
high-density residential area.
SocCer fields which are used by children every. Weekend, and the swimming pool complex which is
used by local swim teams everyday, are also both located on the eastern portion of the campus.
This connection would also allow better access for the children and their families that are utilizing
these facilities.
The street width of the bridge is proposed to be 68 feet wide which continues the width of Kroll
Way from the east and provides adequate width for two traffic lanes in each direction as well as a
bike lane in each direction (which would allow a continuation of the existing bike lanes on Kroll
Way. In addition, pedestrian sidewalks 5.5 feet in width are proposed to be constructed on each
side which would connect to the existing sidewalks along both sides of Kroll Way.
The City would design the bridge and obtain the needed right-of-way across the canal all at City.
expense. The Cit3' would bid the project and administer its construction. The cost of the
construction of the bridge is estimated at $500,000, and the CiD' would propose to provide.a 20%
match ($100,000) and requests the State contribute 80% of the construction costs ($400,000). The
project design would begin immediately upon approval of project funding (Summer 2000) with
bidding in the Fall of 2000 and construction during Winter 2000 so that the project construction
could utilize a "window of opportuni~r'' when low water flows exist in the canal.
Projects for City of Bakersfield/Cai State University Bakersfield
Page 2
Less desirable but still acceptable to meeting the intended goals would be to construct a half-width
bridge which would allow one lane of traffic in each direction, a bike lane in each direction and a
sidewalk on one side of the bridge for pedestrians. For this half-width facility, the construction
costs identified above would be halved. The remaining half of the bridge could then be constructed
in a future year.
To summarize the key points and benefits, this new bridge would:
- encourage pedestrian and bicycle traffic to the campus from the residential area to the east
- provide improved vehicular access to the campus
- have design begun immediately, and have construction beginning in the Winter of 2000
- its design engineered by and at the cost of the City
- be constructed using State funding combined with a 20% local City match.
The second project proposed would install a traffic signal at the south entrance to the campus on
Camino Media. This intersection is currently controlled with a three-way stop. However, much
pedestrian traffic occurs at this location due to the presence of residential and commercial areas
directly south of the campus, and installation of a traffic signal would enhance pedestrian safety.
This location meets warrants for the installation of a traffic signal as determined using State of
California Department of Transportation criteria.
Again with this project, the City would design, bid, and administer the construction of the project
and would begin design as soon as approval was granted. Construction could begin as early as Fall,
2000. The estimated construction cost for the signal is $100,000, and the City would provide a 20~/~
match ($20,000) leaving $80,000 to be funded with State funds.
The City and the University would both very much appreciate your proposing these projects for the
upcoming State budget and for any assistance you might be able to provide in gaining their
approval. They are worthwhile projects that would benefit both the community as well as the
University. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ted
Wright of this Department at 326-3575. Again, thank you for your consideration.

Honorable Chairman and Members of the
Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency
Presented herewith is the proposed Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency Budget for FY 2000-01 which has been
prepared in accordance with the Agency's goals and objectives. Significant achievements in 1999-00 include the
Allen School Partners Participation Agreement, implementation of the Agency's agreement with Golden Empire
Affordable Housing for the Park Place senior housing development, establishment of two new redevelopment
project areas, and the presentation of a workshop for interested citizens and government leaders entitled "How
Redevelopment Works: From Plan Adoption to Implementation."
Three separate funds have been established for each individual redevelopment project area. These funds include
an operating fund, debt service fund, and housing set aside fund for each area. Operating and debt service funds
must be used only in the project area in which they were generated. Although housing set aside funds can be used
anywhere the Agency deems necessary, we believe that a separate accounting of these funds will provide
increased control and responsibility.
Operating Funds
Administrative and direct staff charges will continue to be absorbed by the General Fund. The FY 2000-01
Redevelopment Operating Fund bUdgets include $108,363 in appropriations, of which $41,700 is budgeted to pay
the County for property tax administration services. Due to existing debt obligations in the Downtown Project
Area, the Agency's 2000-01 activity in that area will again be constrained to continuing its established practice
of providing assistance on a performance basis. This takes the form of Ownership Participation Agreements in
which the Agency rebates a portion of the tax increment it receives from specific projects. Street lighting capital
improvement projects for $75,000 each are proposed in both the Southeast and Old Town Kern - Pioneer project
areas.
Housing Set Aside Funds
The Downtown Redevelopment Housing Set Aside Fund has only one appropriation for $50,000 to pay for
specialized consulting services that may be required. No appropriations have been made in the Old Town Kern -
Pioneer and Southeast Housing Set Aside Funds. Additional RDA participation in any housing development or
program will need to be appropriated separately.
Debt Service Funds
The substantial majority of the Downtown area's funds are budgeted to pay the Agency's various debt obligations
associated with that area. In fiscal year 2000-01, $4,388,000 is appropriated to pay Certificates of Participation
and various Ownership Participation Agreements. The other two project areas are not yet generating sufficient
tax increment to pay against their respective debt.

TO: Bakersfield Redevelopment~embers
FROM: Jake Wager /r ,.~.~ i
Deputy Executive Directof~.~_2_~
SUBJECT: FY 2000-01 Budget Highlights
The proposed fiscal year 2000-01 budget will be presented at the APril 10, 2000 meeting. I am taking this
opportunity to highlight some elements prior to your receiving the agenda packet. First, three separate funds
have been established for each individual redevelopment project area. These funds include an operating
fund, debt service fund, and housing set aside fund for each area. As you know, operating and debt service
funds must be used only in the project area in which they were generated. Although housing set aside funds
can be used anywhere the AgenCy deems necessary, we believe that a separate accounting of these funds will
provide increased control and responsibility.
Second, you'll see that, as in past years, no personnel charges are being paid by tax increment funds. Staff
support time is paid from the General Fund.
Third, other operating costs such as general .printing charges, computer charges, training, etc. are charged
to each of the three areas on the following percentage splits: Downtown - 50%; Old Town Kern - 20%;
Southeast - 30%. These percentages approximate the staff time spent working on each project area.
Fourth, a street lighting capital improvement project is proposed in both the Southeast and Old Town Kern -
Pioneer project areas. In each area, $75,000 is budgeted to provide enhanced street lighting in targeted areas.
The Southeast Project Area Committee has been a driving force behind this project in that area, and that
group has some ideas on where to locate the lights. In the Old Town Kern area, the $75,000 will be used
to expedite the completion of the Baker Street Lighting Project that the Agency approved last September.
Finally, the Downtown project area continues to use the vast majority of its tax increment funds to repay
debt. Accordingly, the Agency's activity in that area will be predominantly limited to the utilization of
reimbursement agreements similar to the one just completed with the Allen Group. You will also see that
a significant portion of the Downtown Redevelopment Project Area Operating Fund's equity balance is
reserved for investment in parking. This action is taken pursuant to the Agency's direction to designate 25%.
of the tax increment generated by the Lee Development project specifically for parking. These reserved
funds constitute real cash and are projected to equal approximately $132,000. ~* *~'~ ~ ~12'T'~xr m^t'~q.,~,l- ,

RE: REQUEST FOR STATEMENTS OF INTEREST
SOUTHEAST BAKERSFIELD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
Dear Property Owner:
As a result of recent media .attention, you may be aware that the California Avenue corridor between "L" and
"T" streets is being considered by more than one party as a possible location for a retail/entertainment oriented
project. You may also be aware that the Bakersfield City Council and the Bakersfield Redevelopment Agency
recently approved the formation of the Southeast Bakersfield Project Area. The project area became effective
July 30, 1999.
One of the purposes of redevelopment is to encourage and potentially assist in the commercial development
within the project areas. During the formation of the Southeast Bakersfield Project Area, residents of the area
expressed the need for better commercial shopping and entertainment opportunities. The residents indicated
their desire to see new commercial developments such as, a major grocery store/supermarket, full service
banking, movie theaters, restaurants (fast food and fine dining), video stores, major gas service stations, home
improvement stores, office/school supply stores and other entertainment/shopping amenities. The Bakersfield
Redevelopment Agency (Agency) would like to identify and possibly assist property owners or developers that
have plans or the potential to address any of these commercial opportunities within the Southeast Bakersfield
Project Area. The Agency believes the commercial corridor along California Avenue may have the best initial
potential for land or building sites that could accommodate these types of commercial shopping and
entertainment developments (including recreational facilities and other publicly owned facilities such as a
baseball stadium).
Under the "Rules Governing Participation and Preferences for Owners, Operators or Business Tenants" adopted
by the Agency in the formation.of the project area, the Agency is required to give property owners within a
proposed development area an opportunity to participate in the redevelopment of the area. This participation
can take the form of your own development proposal for the commercial project(s) contemplated, orparticipation
with another property owner or business tenant in the development area to address the commercial shopping
or entertainment needs. Under the above stated "Rules", information required by the Agency to evaluate
proposals is outlined. (The "Rules" document is available for review or purchase at the Economic Development
Department office at 515 Truxtun Avenue.) We have-attached a Statement of Interest form that outlines the
required information needs of the Agency to determine any interest in the commercial opportunities and evaluate
projects presented.

clarification of information or documents included in the applicant's proposal.
The Agency will evaluate all Statements of Interest based upon a number of considerations including, but not
limited to, the following:
a. Changes or elimination in land uses in the area contrary to the redevelopment of the Project Area;
b. Availability, capacity, removal, relocation or installation of public utilities, infrastructure and facilities;

SUBJECT: Status on MAOF Child Care Center Project
As you are aware, an agreement between the City and the Mexican American Opportunity
Foundation (MAOF) was executed last year to transfer title of property located on East California
Ave. to MAOF for a child care center. The property was formerly owned by Clinica Sierra Vista
Community Services Center and purchased with CDBG funds for use an urgent care drop-in
facility.
The existing building on the property was demolished. Instead of constructing a new facility,
MAOF will be installing portable classrooms to accommodate 144 children ages 2 ½ to 5.
Currently, MAOF is awaiting arrival of the portable classrooms from the manufacturer. Delivery
date is expected by the end of May, 2000. MAOF anticipates they will begin providing child care
services by July, 2000.

TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager
FROM: Jake Wager, Economic Development Director ,~
SUBJECT: Status on the Draft Consolidated Plan 2005
As you are aware we advertised a citywide public meeting for the draft Consolidated Plan
2005 which was held last Thursday at the Martin Luther King Community Center. Only two
residents attended the meeting. Since the attendance was somewhat limited we realize
there is a need to increase our efforts for encouraging citizens to attend future
Consolidated Plan meetings. Even though federal regulations only require one public
notice for one community meeting for review of the Consolidated Plan, staff is redesigning
its methods for increasing meeting attendance. Some examples are listed below.
One example is to print flyers in English and Spanish that advertises the meeting (see the
attached flyer for our second public meeting regarding the draft Consolidated Plan which
is going to be held at the BoyS and Girls Club on April13). These flyers will be distributed
at major gathering sites in the community. For the April 13th meeting the distribution sites
were the Boys and Girls Club, Baker Street Library, Fiesta Foods/Charlie Meats, Beale
Library, and MLK Community Center.
Additionally, we intend as we did with the MLK Community Center meeting to continue to
hold Consolidated Plan public meetings at neighborhood facilities instead of at the
Convention Center where we have normally held them in the past. However, it needs to
be noted that the Consolidated Plan as required by HUD, is a City-wide effort not
neighborhood based. Another example for encouraging greater meeting participation is
to also advertise the Consolidated Plan public meetings as a display ad and/or as public
service announcements. This would potentially reach a greater viewer audience.
These are some of the ideas staff will be pursuing in the future in an effort to encourage
greater resident attendance at our public meetings concerning the Consolidated Plan.
Please call if you have questions regarding this matter.

April 4, 2000
TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager [ ~ t,~_'N~
FROM: Jake Wager, Economic Development Director
SUBJECT: City Council Referral Item #WF0018420 - Economic Development in
Areas of Need
I concur with the comments you made to Vice Mayor Carson at the March 29, 2000 City
Council meeting.
As we are advised of a particular need or community amenity we automatically include the
request in our discussions with perspective developers and property owners. By way of
illustration, being aware of the need for a southeast grocery store we have included that
in our discussions with property owners and/or developers. This has also been the case
with the need for banking services in southeast Bakersfield. As you are aware in
conversations with lending institutions, we have specifically pointed out the need in
southeast Bakersfield.
With respect to conducting some type of community assessment this would be a new task.
Technically it may also prove to be difficult since it would require some form of
measurement as to the adequacy of existing community amenities. This implies that a
standard of some sort exist. If a standard for community amenities or services exist I am
not aware of it. Should such an assessment be desired I anticipate it would require
extensive resources currently not budgeted for.
Finally with respect to the lack of gasoline service stations servicing this same area, we will
now from this time on be including this idea in discussions with property owners and/or
developers.
Should other specific needs be identified we would be glad to incorporate them into our
efforts to secure essential services for southeast Bakersfield.

State Law Governs Regulation of
Restaurant Operations Including Workers
The state has enacted a comprehensive set of regulations which covers all aspects
of restaurant health and sanitation and is known as the "California Uniform Retail Foods
Facilities Law." (Health and Safety Code section 113700, et seq.)
The legislature ha~ declared its intent to occupy the entire field of health and
standards for food facilities such as restaurants. This leaves little room for local regulation.
Hygiene standards for restaurant employees are specifically covered under state
law. (Health and Safety Code section 114020, copy attached hereto for yOur review.)
Moreover, if a restaUrant worker has an infectious disease, the health officer may: 1)
immediately exclude the employee from the restaurant; or 2) immediately close the
restaurant until it poses no further danger of disease outbreak. (Health and Safety Code
section 114022, copy attached hereto for your review.)
Conclusion
- Except in very limited instances, state'law regarding. restaurant health'and sanitatiOn
issues preempt, or prevent, the City from passing ordinances on the same topic.
Furthermore, the City has transferred all health-related matters to the-County and Would
need to reestablish those powers in order for any health-related legislation to be effective.

Subject: State Law Regarding Cell Phones CITY MANAGER'S OFf:: ·
Council Date: March 29, 2000
Council Member: Pat DeMond
"DeMond requested staff look into a new state law going into effect in June
regarding not being able to drive and use a hand held cell phone; why warning
citations are being issued and report back."
Operations Division staff were assigned to research the subject and report back.
Lt. Alan Zachary advises there is no law or vehicle code which prohibits the use of a
cellular telephone while operating a motor vehicle. A state survey revealed that
Maryland has adopted a law which prohibits the use of cellular telephones while
operating motor vehicles.
In addition, Lt. Zachary advises that no citations or warning citations have been issued
for the use of a cellular telephone while operating a motor vehicle. To this date
legislators have proposed such a law but have been unsuccessful because of
aggressive cellular telephone lobbyists.

DATE: April 5 2000
SUBJECT: COUNCIL REFERRAL WF0018411/001, WARD 2, BLOCK WALL ON 24TM
STREET.
"DEMOND REFERRED TO STAFF THE ISSUE OF A BLOCK WALL BLOCKING THE
SOUTH SIDE OF 24TM STREET FROM ELM TO ALDER STREETS AND WHAT CALTRANS'
POSITION IS ON BLOCKING THE STREET."
The Traffic Engineer contacted Caltrans' office in Fresno regarding the possibility of
blocking all the streets on the south side of 24th Street (State Route 178). The Caltrans
traffic engineers are concerned with what effect a continuous closure along 24th Street
would have on 24th Street traffic. One concern was that It could affect the intersection of
24th and Oak by introducing a higher demand for left turns at that intersection since turns
into the residential neighborhood would be eliminated. The engineers said that an isolated
closure, like was once proposed for Elm Street only, may not be a problem. The Caltrans
engineers asked that the City send more information in the form of a sketch plan and some
basic traffic volumes for the side streets. They will then formally respond with comments
and requirements, if any. Public Works Traffic staff will conduct traffic volume studies for
the side streets and 21st Street for Caltrans' information. Traffic staff will also study the
effect such closures will have on 21st Street, such as resultant increases in traffic and traffic
conflicts and accidents along 21st Street and at the intersections of Oak and F at 21st
Street. A report will be produced when responses are received from Caltrans.

Dear City Council
We the Residents of Shellabarger Road must have ano~er sat~ way to exit and enter
Shellabmger safel? Wi~ the Calloway project and the six lanes ~ey are adding, we have a
ve~ dangerous intersection. Calloway is a deadly Ntersection. The speed of the traffic is
getting worse by the day. We need ~e West End open ~d it should have been open
immediately, when the development was st~ed~ Mr. Koch petition did not ~ve the co,ecl
facts about ~e opening. Lloyd Norton sent a map, on how we would be connected to the
new development. This was a~eeably with 97% of ~e Shellabarger residents. No one
w~ted the Calloway project but it was forced on us! We don't w~t ot~ neighborhood
ch~ged but it is changing ~d we must open up ~e West End of our s~eet. ~at's ~e le~t
mount of change ~d ~e best option for ~e sge~ of the residents.
We have had ~o accidents on Shellabmger, ~.both accidents ~e elec~c lines were
do~. We could not get to our homes ~d others could not get out. It was hours before the
emergency workers would let us ~ew, it did not ma~er what we said they would not let us
·rew, not ~va~mg or ~y other alliterative did we have.
Wi~ ~e s~eet be~n closed, ~e yo~g chil&en on Shellab~ger stud at C~loway at ~s
busy ~d hi~ speed Ntersection ~d wait for ~eir school bus. If we were open, ~e yotmg
cNl&en would be picked up ~d ~opped off on o~ s=eet, not m~t ~ere in this d~gerous
intersection.
All the law egorcement officers, City, Cotm~ ~d Highway Pa~ol, have all been out on
Shellab~ger ~d all a~eed that this road nee~ to be opened. They don't like to come on our
s=eet because it's closed. They a~eed if it w~ opene< they would.pa~ol Shellab~ger like
they do PaM ~d Brimhall. Some people do speed, knowNg ~ere is no officer beNnd ~em,
~d our speed limit is 25. If~. Koch had the map ~d all ~e real facts, ve~ few people
would have signed Ns petition. ~en I had all ~e facts ~d maps, 97% of ~e residents
si~ed the petition to open the West End of Shellab~ger. They were concern to know how
we would be co~ected ~d a~eed we needed ~other option to enter ~d exit safely. Just
like other neighborhoods legally have.
Both Fire Chief s, Coun~ and Cie', hate cr~h gates they both have agreed they w~t ~em
gone~
It will be ye~s before we have a =affic light Nvolved N ~e C~loway project~ Lloyd No~on
~ows of ot~ simmion ~d he says we just have to w~d The West End of Shellab~ger is best
~d quickest solution[
N the meeting ~ere w~ concern about l~ge ~cks, the He~ilustoy have livestock m~cks,
they know they can not use this way, they know fl~e zoning only allows mtcks ~at ~e
involved with movers.
I watched fl~e meeting last night, this situation has been postponed again The news media)istfi~
did help the public with ~eir situation ~Sth the co~ ~d ~e ci~' and it did get resolve~o
You did listen to what the residents wanted. The residents on Shellabarger, they ~e reallj~'
tired ~d getting more ~s~ated. We can not get out of ot~ street safely We c~ not get i~noil
safely either with the people going over the speed limit ~d also illeg~ly going a rotmd us~
Do the hght ~ing, open. the West End ~d do not ch~ge an~lhing else. We had enough
change in our neighborhood for a lifetime. Open ~e west end of Shellabarger ~d do it Oily
quickly before someone is killed. Othor~d~

Honorably Major and City Council,
This is how Mr. Koch petition was circulated on
Shellabarger Road, with only his opinion. Some residents
signed his petition because, Mr. Koch told them the road
was 'going straight threw to Jewetta and to the new high
school. When I explained with the map that Lloyd Norton
sent, many people said they would not have signed his
petition.
Other residents were shown their signatures, they said that
it was their signature but they didn't remember signing Mr.
Koch petitiOn. When the map was shown to them, how.we
would be connected, they also agreed we needed this option
to enter and exit and they wanted the road opened-at the
west end of Shellabarger... especially with the construction
of the Calloway project.
I have marked all the people who changed their mind, when
all the correct facts and the maps were shown to them, on
the proper way of how we would be connected to the new
development.
SincerelY,
Debra Coyle
RESIDENTS AND HOMEOWNERS PETITION "t'_;,,~
, ,.~'~ ~ ~' ~?
SHELLABARGER ' -~ '~
This is a petition to open the west end of Shellabarger Road. The west end
of our Street has been closed because of a petition. Everyone thought it was
going straight through to Jewetta. The housing track has 5 tums before we
get to Jewetta and 3 roms before we can get to Palm. The housing track is
very neighborhood friendly. It is a very good option. In case an emergency
arises during the Calloway' construction, or any other time, this would be the
only other way out.
· We have had mishaps in the Past causing our road to be closed to through
traffic, where we couldn't get to the end of our street in either direction. We
have waited for hours until P.G. and E. had the repairs completed. In an
emergency the street will bi closed until the tire dept or other authorities feel
it is safe. It does not matter to them what we say, we will not get through
until they feel it's safe. When the road is tom up and repaved we will have
another bption. We could go west and avoid all the construction completely.
In two or more years when Shellabarger has access to a light at Slicker
(formerly Art Street) and Calloway, it will be a very congested intersection.
We will be sharing this with Palm and other neighborhoods. We will be
forced to use this route to enter and exit Shellabarger, by the traffic light.
Shellabarger Road will be a dead end street, at the east end. We will
probably only have one l~tne for '~t left-hand turn, Slicker and Langley will
also be adjoined at tiffs' intersection. Langley is a commercial area with
many businesses, .some businesses have many vehicles and equipment, that
will be entering and exiting Calloway. We could avoid this intersection
completely by using the west end of Shellabarger., especially during the rash
hours.
By September, the Calloway Drive project will be complete.with six lanes
from Rosedale Hwy to the railroad tracks. We will be living with this traffic
for up to 2 years with only one way out. THINK ABOUT CALL0WAY!
Have you seen the new housihg tracks being built to the north and south? Its
is really growing out here in Rosedale and so is the traffic. We must have
another way to enter and exit safely. Our only option will be to open the
west end of Shellabarger.

Dear Sir or Madam:
On this date at 10:00 A.M~ I presented a check dated 3/5/00 to the California Avenue, Bakersfield,
branch of California Federal Bank. The check was for $356.01 and was payable to my store, JERRY'S
DUGOUT, by a Cal-Fed customer.
After confirming at my request, that funds were available, I was told by the teller that she "needed proof of
my identity" from my bank, Apparently the following was not sufficient proof of who I am:
1. My California Driver's License with my picture on it
2. My business check book.
3. My business cards with my name on them.
4. My Business credit card with BOTH my personal name and business name on it
5. My car with the personalized plate "J. DUGOUT" on it
6. The fact that I have been in business for fifteen (15) years under this name with the last
fourteen (14) years at the current highly visible location, VALLEY PLAZA MALL.
At the teller's insistence I went to my bank, received proof of whom I am, and returned to Cal-Fed to again
present the check. This time, the funds were NOT there. The Cal-Fed customer had in the intervening
half-hour, come into the branch and withdrew his money.
What can we conclude from this?
1. That Cai-Fed Bank by their punctilious r-eeom~or procedure over reason
abetted one of their customers in his successful attempt to d~_,_;d me of $356.01.
2. That Cai-Fed Bank doesn't really care anyway, in as much as the logic-defying
implementation of their procedures didn't cost them $356.01. As the manager coldly
commented, "these are our regulations."
3. That, in any reasonable world if one were presented with the aforementioned six (6) items
of identification, tile ONLY conclusion one would have is "yep, that's Jerry L. Reynolds wiao
owns JERRY'S DUGOUT!"
4. That Cal-Fed, as a corporate entity apparently doesn't function in a reasonable worlct
5. That I will no longer accept checks from Cal-Fed and will place a sign to that effect in my
store. I will also gladly relate to any customer who asks why we would adopt such a policy.
Thank you for your indulgence. If you wish to reply, you should have no problem finding me.
Unless, of course, you corffuse me with the other guy with my drivers license with my picture on it,
carrying my business check book and canying my business cards with my name on them and my.business
credit card with BOTH my personal name and the store name on it, while driving a car with J. Dugout
vanity plates, and conducting business under my name at the same highly visible location for the last
fourteen (14) years.

Dear Council Person David Couch,
I was afforded the privilege of seeing first hand the complexity of issues that face the City Council as I
attended the budget meeting on February 7th. The expertise and commitment required of the City Council
Persons and staffthat was evidenced in this meeting is a model of civic contribution that serves our city
well. I would like to reiterate my appreciation for the high level of service that we have received from the
city staff in our submission ora request for Community Development Funds.
As you may be aware, our project was not recommended for funding at the above referenced budget
meeting. You may not be aware that several substantial changes have occurred since the submission of
our project that I believe significantly strengthen our project. In addition, we have not had an opportunity
to present our project. I had hoped for this opportunity at the February 7th budget meeting. On behalf of
the Bakersfield Garden Community's Board of Directors, I would like to request a presentation opportunity
in a forum that you would find appropriate. Once again, your efforts in building a better Bakersfield are
deeply appreciated.
Best Wishes,

32nd District
1200 Truxtun Ave., Room 120
Bakersfield, CA 93301
Dear Roy:
By the time you receive this letter, I am sure you will be elected for another term as
Congressman for the 32nd District. I congratulate you and certainly have voted for you
every time you have run for office. I think you do a good job and I appreciate your work
in Sacramento.
Roy, I have had some recent discussions with Supervisor Barbara Patrick's office as well
as 4th Ward City Councilman David Couch. Our discussions have centered around the
worsening conditions of the railroad crossings throughout metropolitan Bakersfield and
the outlying areas of the city as well.
In November 1992, I wrote a letter to the superintendent of the Santa Fe Railroad
regarding the railroad crossings on Coffee Road just south of Rosedale Highway. As you
know, that railroad crossing now has a new overpass. However, at the time I got in touch
with the railroad people, it was shortly after Coffee Road had opened up north of
Rosedale Highway, thus creating a great deal of additional traffic volume. The railroad
crossing was a mess, and there was no intent to repair it with the long range plan of a
grade separation and an overpass as we know it today. ~
I was advised by competent people in our city and county government that the only hope
for the improvement of the Coffee Road railroad track as well as several others in the
community would have to come from political assistance. I was further advised that the
only entity that would have any influence on the railroad would be the PUC. With this in
mind, I got in touch with Conni Brunni. She was very sympathetic to the problem and
agreed that we needed to pursue this project. She also agreed that we needed to be in
touch with Trice Harvey, since he was our political link on the state level. We had a
meeting at his office in approximately July 1993. 'Also in attendance was City Manager,
Alan Tandy, who also had a concern about the railroad crossings throughout the city.

Trice could see that this was a major concern not only to me, but to Conni and Mr.
Tandy. He assured us that he Would be in touch with the PUC in Sacramento as soon as
possible. Trice called Conni and had a conference call with the PUC where progress was
finally realized. This call was in the latter part of 1993 because the railroad hierarchy,
along with the PUC representatives, came to Bakersfield in 1994 where several railroad
crossings were physically visited by all parties that had gotten involved up to this point.
We actually stood at railroad crossings at several areas in the city and outlying areas. It
was on into the spring of 1994 before we started to see some actual physical
improvements. In fact, my records show that construction actually started in April 1994.
While this is a brief review of what took place, perseverence was finally paying off ai we
saw major improvements on the Coffee Road crossing as well as basic improvements in
various locations. Specifically, there was work done behind the court house on the SP
tracks which are better today than they were prior to that initial effort. There was work
done on railroad crossings on Rosedale Highway, California Avenue, Brundage Lane and
East Truxtun, to name a few.
Now some six years later, we have great need for railroad crossing improvements and
maintenance. I might say the maintenance needed is not just a shovel full of asphalt.
Railroad crossings have wooden railroad ties that need to be removed and replaced. Also
frequently prefabricated cement panels can be used such as the Coffee Road crossing.
This is a very permanent solution simply because the cement does not break down like
asphalt has a tendency to do when erosion is caused from weather conditions and traffic.
Roy, we need evaluations on several railroad crossings throughout the community. If you
want me to be more specific, please advise.
Roy, I said it back in 1993 and 1994. I will say it again! We not only need immediate
renovation and maintenance on our railroad crossings, but as a growing city and county;°
we need to establish with the railroads that we expect substantial and regular maintenance
of all railroad crossings. We can get this accomplished by pulling the railroads and the
PUC together. This is the role that you play since you are on a state level. I believe that
Mr. Couch and Mrs. Patrick are very willing to be a part of this effort. No doubt other
supervisors and councilmen would also follow suit. Let's develop a reputation in
Bakersfield to expect fair and considerate treatment of all railroad crossings.
It goes without saying that the motivation behind my letter is to preserve the expensive
cars that we drive today. However, in addition, let's not forget the hazards that are
connected with deteriorated railroad crossings, potholes, loose and broken asphalt,
protruding railroad spikes hnd splintered railroad ties that people drive over and
pedestrians having to step over. Isn't there a liability factor connected with all of this?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and willingness to get involved in this worthy
cause in our community. If I can be of any help, I will look forward to hearing from you
or any other concerned party. I want to do my part.

Lately I have noticed that more and more concerned citizens are

This memorandum is in response to the referral by Councilmember David Couch
relative to the attached March 6, 2000 letter of Mr. Jerry L. Reynolds to Cai-Fed, California
Federal Bank.
Under both federal law (primarily Title 12 of the United States Code - Operations
Under the Jurisdiction of the Federal Comptroller of the Currency) and state law, local
municipal agencies do not have jurisdiction to regulate the activities of Banks and Savings
& Loans. It is for this reason that Banks and Savings & Loans are exempt from
Bakersfleld's business license tax requirement. (The California Constitution, Article XIII,
section 27, imposes a state tax on Banks. Section 23182 of the Revenue and Taxation
Code declares that taxes imposed by the state on Banks is in lieu of all other taxes and
licenses (including municipal business licenses).)
I note that Mr. Reynolds has already copied the correspondence to the appropriate
office for complaints of this nature (Consumer Complaints of National Banks).

By the time you receive this letter, I am sure you will be elected for another term as

RE: DISREPAIR OF RAILROAD GRADE CROSSINGS, FENCES AND

Dear Mr. Aldridge:
On July 12, 1993, we sent a letter to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company expressing
our concerns about a hazardoUs condition at a local railroadat-grade crossing. Your office
was sent a copy of the letter for possible assistance from the PUC. To date, Southern
Pacific has not responded to our concerns. This letter to the Railroad was in addition to
numerous telephone conversations and letters in recent years regarding the disrepair of
many railroad crossings on city streets.
Although the original complaint only addressed California Avenue at the Southern Pacific
Railroad because of the deplorable condition of the crossing, the following at grade railroad
crossings are also in various stages of disrepair:
#BT 315.2' Brundage Lane between Clyde Street and Lakeview Avenue
#BT 315.1 Lakeview Avenue between Brundage Lane and Wilkens Street
#2-885.4 Sumner Street ~ Miller Street
#B 312.9 Baker street between Sum. ner Street and Jackson Street
#BT 315.5 South Chester Avenue between Sandra Drive and Dorian Drive

The problems of railroad facility disrepair are not just limited to grade crossings. We
currently have a condition which involves a fence owned and maintained by the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad which has been damaged in several places by vehicular
accidents. The fence is located north of California Avenue between Oak Street and "^"
Street. These damaged areas have been in existence for several years with no apparent.
plan for repair. We have also received many citizen complaints concerning the general
upkeep of railroad property.
It is our understanding that your staff has been looking into the original concerns we
expressed in our July 21, 1993 letter. We are appreciative of your assistance and look
forward to a timely resolution to the problems outlined in this letter.
Thank you for your prompt action regarding our concerns. Please 'do not hesitate to
contact the City Public Works Department at 326-3724 should you have any questions or

T.M. Burke Letter
A copy of a letter addressed to City Manager Alan Tandy sent to Council member
Couch, along with a copy of a small claims action, was forwarded to this office for
comment. This matter arose out of damage allegedly incurred to Mr. Burke's automobile
while passing through a street construction project. Upon receipt of the original claim, the
matter was tendered to St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company, the insurance
company representing Griffith Company, the contractor on the project. The insurance
company accepted the tender without asserting a reservation of rights (copy of acceptance
of tender enclosed) and initiated discussion with Mr. Burke regarding settlement of his
claim.
Evidently, the negotiations have not resulted in a settlement, and Mr. Burke has filed
the small claims lawsuit. St. Paul has agreed to fully defend an.d indemnify the City of
Bakersfield in this matter and will be handling the case in its entirety. This office will
monitor the matter as it proceeds.

SUBJECT: REFERRAL BY COUNCILMEMBER COUCH - Investment Policy Certification
and Quarterly Financial Information.
We plan to pursue certification of the City's Investment Policy after it's next scheduled
update in December 2000. Please see the attached memo from the City Treasurer for
additional details.
I talked to Councilmember Couch to clarify the quarterly financial information he has
requested. His primary focus is discretionary or unanticipated revenue the City receives.
These revenues would normally be realized in the General Fund. My office will prepare a
Quarterly General Fund Revenue and Expenditure Report, starting with March 2000.

TO: Gregory J. Klimko, Finance Director
FROM: William C. Descary, City Treasurer
DATE: April 5, 2000
SUBJECT: INVESTMENT POLICY CERTIFICATION
You asked me to respond to the portion of a referral from Councilmember Couch
concerning investment policy certification.
The Municipal Treasurer's Association United States & Canada (MTA US & C) administers
an Investment Policy Certification Program. Entities may request the Investment Policy
Certification Committee to review their policy to determine if it meets the standards set forth
by the Association in a model Investment Policy.
Program Procedures:
1. Submit five copies of the following:
* Application Form
* Investment Policy
* Glossary
* State statutes listing authorized investments.
2. Program fee $175.00
3. Submitted documentation is forwarded to three reviewers who will evaluate the
policy and make a recommendation as to certification. Two of the three reviewers
must vote in favor of certification in order for the entity to receive MTA US & C's
Investment Policy Certification.
4. Successful applicants receive recognition and a plaque at MTA US & C's annual
conference in August. Conferences are held in different cities throughout the United
States and Canada.
S:\Darrin\Bill\Memo - InvPolicyCertification.wpd
Page 2
Memo - Investment Policy Certification
April 5, 2000
In order to pursue certification, the City's Investment Policy will have to be rewritten to fit
the language in the MTA US & C model policy. The Association encourages entities to
include a glossary (terms/definitions) as part of their investment policy. The City's current
Investment Policy does not include a glossary. Investment reporting format and frequency
would have to change to comply with reporting criteria outlined in the model Investment
Policy.
These changes need to be reviewed for consistency with the City's established investment
goals. Since the changes will take some time to accomplish, I recommend they be included
for consideration in the next review of Investment Policy scheduled for December 2000.

DATE: March 31, 2000
SUBJECT: KERN COUNTY WASTE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT STAFFING
REPORT - PER COUNClLMEMBER COUCH'S INQUIRY
In response to Councilmember Couch's inquiry to staff regarding the number of personnel
within the Kern County Waste Management Department (KCWMD), staff has obtained
information from a recently-published Operational Study. The Operational Study was
performed by a well-recognized solid waste consultant, Hilton Farnkopf and Hopson, LLC.
Due to differences in basic functions of solid waste operations in the City and County, a
comparison of personnel numbers between agencies (46 City vs. 96 County) would have
little meaning. This is because, while the City conducts waste collection and processing, the
County is involved chiefly in landfill operations. Moreover, the City provides greenwaste
processing for not only its own material, but the County as well.
In order to provide some reference between the County's operation and other similar ones, a
table from the study is attached. This table compares similar landfill operations among three
counties. However, even within this common group, variations in staff structure occur,
making comparison difficult.

Gary Littles' Request for Trash Fee Waiver
Council member Salvaggio asked staff to respond to Gary Little's request for a waiver of
trash and sewer fees for 503, 505, and 507 "M" Street. Public Works has agreed to waive
the fees associated with the properties. Now we are working with the County to take them
off the tax bill. The County had previously asked Mr. Littles to pay the fees first and have
the City refund the charges. At the time of this memo that issue has not yet been resolved.
Once resolution of the issue is completed with the County, a letter of explanation will be
provided to Mr. Littles.
